Partitioning/Formatting:
If your SATA controller supports RAID, you may need to define your
drive in a RAID Array before Windows can detect the drive, even if
the motherboard or system drivers are being loaded correctly. This
is true even if installing a single drive. Contact your system or RAID
controller manufacturer for assistance on defining your drive in a
RAID Array.
1. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and
restart the system.
2. Follow the onscreen prompts until the Where do you want to
install Windows? screen displays.
3. Your hard drive is listed in the center window screen as Disk 0
Unallocated Space.
If you want a single partition (single drive letter), click Next to
automatically partition and format your hard drive in NTFS.
Windows Vista continues installing.
If you want multiple partitions on this hard drive, click Drive
options (advanced) and skip to step 5 below.
If your hard drive is not detected, you may need to obtain third
party SATA controller drivers from the SATA controller
manufacturer. These drivers must be installed from a CD, DVD,
floppy, or USB flash drive.
4. After clicking Drive options (advanced), click New to add a
new partition to the hard drive.
5. Enter the capacity of the partition and click Apply.
6. Select the Disk 0 Unallocated Space and click New to add
another new partition to the hard drive.
7. Enter the capacity of the partition and click Apply.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired amount of partitions is
obtained, then click Next to continue installing Windows Vista on
the first partition.
Windows XP
Windows XP has all the necessary tools to help you properly install
a SATA drive. Depending on your configuration, follow the
appropriate set of instructions below (Single Install or Adding a
Second Drive).
Note: Ensure your drive is detected by your SATA controller during
bootup or in the SATA BIOS by disconnecting any other hard drives
from the computer system until Windows has been completely
installed on the desired hard drive.
Single Install:
If your SATA controller supports RAID, you may need to define your
drive in a RAID Array before Windows can detect the drive, even if
the motherboard or system drivers are being loaded correctly. This
is true even if installing a single drive. Contact your system or RAID
controller manufacturer for assistance on defining your drive in a
RAID Array.
1. Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart
the system.
Note: You may need to press the F6 key to load the driver for the
SATA controller before Windows can find a drive to which to
install. See Answer ID 127 in the knowledge base at
http://support.wdc.com for more information.
2. From the partitioning option screen, create the partition size you
want by pressing C. Note that the FAT32 does not allow
partitions larger than 32 GB. For more information about this
limitation, please see Microsoft Article 184006 at
http://support.microsoft.com. NTFS format, on the other hand,
has no size limit on partition sizes. After the partition(s) have been
created and formatted, continue with Windows installation.
